    Very nice, I was tempted by the V5 engine with a turbo.

    Does it go well?

    Hi Sam, It does go very well yes and the gearing on the 5 speed V5 box seems a bit shorter than VR6, not sure if it is or not. VVT makes a small difference top end too. If I was keeping it I would put a GT30 on and possibly 4motion but just not feasible at the moment unfortunately. Any ideas on how much to ask for it? it's so hard to put a value on! Cheers, Paul.

    Hi valvemeister it is yes good spot! I was being a bit cheeky with the asking price as I don't know what to value it at, probable auction it off instead. cheers Paul.

    11k, I think that is a bit cheeky, it’s a lovely clean car, I don’t see why you couldn’t get 5k and upwards for it.

    Cheers! I know yeah I've put so much time and effort in but life has other plans for me I guess, time to let someone else enjoy her as much as I have.

    Lovely looking Mk2. Rare in silver. Was it the extra V5 top end speed that took off your passengers wiper or is it a budget single wiper conversion?
